Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs commissioned finance management consultancy to design a finance service delivery model and a future operating model under its Finance2030 programme. The work concerns how the department organises and delivers its finance services, including the design of its future operating arrangements. The buyer is based in Bristol. The stated delivery coverage includes the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world, indicating a geographically broad remit rather than a single local delivery site.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to KPMG LLP on 14 September 2026. The award value is £429,422. The contract runs from 14 September 2026 to 31 January 2027. The buyer used a selective procedure to call off from a framework agreement. The earlier submission deadline was 11 September 2026 at noon. The requirement was procured as a single service, with no lots identified. The published evaluation criteria are not stated in the available process data, so the basis on which the competing framework suppliers were assessed cannot be described. The contract is recorded as active.

This award demonstrates demand from the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs for strategic finance transformation consultancy: specifically, advice that can translate a finance function’s needs into a service delivery model and a practical future operating model. A credible competitor would need senior finance transformation expertise, experience designing finance operating models for large public organisations, and the ability to work across a geographically dispersed remit. The work is suited to firms able to mobilise experienced consultants for a focused, intensive engagement and to provide structured analysis and recommendations within a defined programme. The selected supplier was a large professional services firm; the procurement was a framework call-off, so future competition for this buyer’s requirement is likely to depend on both relevant finance transformation credentials and access to the applicable framework route.
